Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Just after midnight, Lin Bei suddenly opened his eyes.

An extremely violent aura of corpses was rapidly approaching from the foot of the mountain, and that aura was more than twice as strong as when they fought.

"It's here." Lin Bei stood up and stepped out of the main room.

In the courtyard, Si Mu was already standing at the door, carrying a newly replaced bronze sword.

Master Ikkyu also came out from next door, holding the sandalwood prayer beads in his hand.

"The aura of corpses is very strong, right outside the dojo."

Sure enough, it was in an open space a few feet away from the gate of the temple.

The royal zombie stood there stiffly, emitting low growls.

At the entrance of the dojo, a golden halo slowly appeared.

This is a protective array formed by the power of the ancestral incense offerings carried by the Maoshan Taoist temple itself.

It is usually hidden and inconspicuous, but it will automatically activate as soon as it senses evil spirits approaching.

Although the golden light was faint, it carried a profound and lingering spiritual aura, causing a clear sense of apprehension to flash in the eyes of the royal zombie.

Four Eyes stood at the courtyard gate, unable to suppress a laugh: "Oh, you're quite sensible, knowing you'd get a beating if you came in."

"It's great to have the patriarch protecting you!"

The royal zombie let out an angry roar, seemingly in response to his provocation.

Lin Bei, however, was not as relaxed as Si Mu.

The zombie was indeed afraid to enter the dojo, but if they kept hiding inside and didn't attack, it would eventually lose patience.

If it then turns around and goes to nearby villages to harm the people, that will be a big problem.

"Let's go outside and fight."

Lin Bei said, "If it stays here, it will leave sooner or later. Then it will hide in the shadows and come out to harm people, which will be even more troublesome."

"Good and evil are locked in a lifelong struggle! Eradicate them completely to prevent future troubles!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Four Eyes charged out, bronze sword in hand: "That makes sense! I'll chop it up today!"

When the royal zombie saw them emerge, a ferocious killing intent flashed in its crimson eyes, and it suddenly pounced on the three of them.

"Take this!"

With a single, swift strike, the bronze sword, imbued with fierce magical power, slashed towards the top of the hairy zombie's head.

Mao Jiang dodged to the side and swung his claws at Si Mu's chest.

Si Mu turned his feet to avoid the claw, and slapped the hairy zombie's side with his sword.

With a muffled thud, the zombie was knocked back two steps.

Master Ikkyu also rushed out, his prayer beads trembling.

Dozens of prayer beads flew out of his hand, turning into a golden speck of light in the air and shooting towards the hairy zombie.

Each Buddhist bead radiated intense Buddhist light, exploding into a burst of golden sparks upon touching the hairy zombie.

Mao Jiang was forced to retreat repeatedly, his roars growing increasingly furious.

Lin Bei didn't rush to make a move. He observed from the side for a while and found that Simu and Yixiu's cooperation was becoming more and more tacit.

Four Eyes engaged in close combat with his bronze sword, while Ikkyu used his Buddha Light to suppress him from a distance. With one attack close and the other long, the dog was overwhelmed and unable to defend itself.

The problem is that Four Eyes and One Kyu have limited mana, so they can't sustain such high-intensity output for long.

"Uncle-Master! Master Ikkyu! Let me take over for a bit!"

Lin Bei charged forward with his sword, using the Yu Step to circle around to the side of the Mao Jiang, and slashed out with the Evil-Slaying Sword.

"Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, Fifth Form! Demon Slayer!"

A flash of golden light appeared on the sword, and it struck Mao Jiang's right arm.

Although it only left a faint white mark, it did indeed draw its attention to him.

Mao Jiang turned and pounced on him. Lin Bei quickly retreated, and at the same time, he took out three Explosive Flame Talismans from the spatial stone with his left hand and threw them out.

"Explosive Flame! Imperial Decree!"

Three bursts of fire exploded in front of Mao Jiang.

It was forced to pause for a moment by the scorching heat wave, and Lin Bei took the opportunity to throw out three more Flame Talismans.

"Flames! Burn!"

Crimson flames erupted from the talisman, creating a wall of fire beneath the feet of the zombie.

The wall of fire was so hot that it had to take two steps back to avoid the flames.

"Good lad! Fire talismans are more effective than thunder talismans!" Four Eyes shouted, and charged forward again with his sword.

Even Shi Shaojian, who was watching from the back, joined the fray!

The four of them took turns going.

Four eyes met in close combat, but Ikkyu suppressed them with his Buddha-light.

Lin Bei used fire talismans to wear down Mao Jiang from a distance, while Shi Shaojian used wooden stakes to block Mao Jiang's retreat.

The fury was growing more and more agitated as it was beaten. Several times it tried to rush over and attack Si Mu, but was blocked by Shi Shaojian's wooden stakes.

Although those wooden stakes could not hold it for long, they could only hold it off for two or three breaths each time.

But that short period of time gave others a chance to retaliate.

After fighting for about fifteen minutes, Mao Jiang suddenly retreated several feet and let out a piercing shriek.

The sound was extremely sharp, carrying a power that pierced straight into the brain, causing everyone to feel dizzy at the same time.

Lin Bei felt a buzzing in his head, and the scene before his eyes suddenly blurred.

He quickly circulated the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture to calm his mind.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mao Jiang suddenly pounced on Master Ikkyu.

Just as Master Ikkyu recovered from his dizziness, he saw the zombie rushing towards him, its claws, enveloped in a strong aura of death, reaching for his chest.

"Amitabha!"

Master Ikkyu chanted a Buddhist mantra, and his whole body shone with a great Buddhist light, thus withstanding the claw attack.

Master Ikkyu was forced back seven or eight steps by the immense force, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"You old bald monk, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Si Mu drew his sword and rushed forward to stop Mao Jiang.

After calming himself down, Lin Bei rushed forward and grabbed a handful of fire talismans from the spatial stone.

There were at least a dozen of them, and they were all thrown out at once.

"Explosive Flames! Blazing Inferno! Earth Fire! Imperial Decree! Imperial Decree! Imperial Decree!"

More than a dozen talismans exploded in the air at the same time, and fierce flames shot into the sky, engulfing the space within several feet of the hairy zombie.

Mao Jiang was trapped in the sea of ​​fire, letting out a deafening roar.

His body was filled with a frenzied surge of corpse energy, attempting to extinguish the flames.

The zombie struggled in the sea of ​​fire for a while, then suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a thick cloud of corpse fumes.

A black wall of air formed, forcibly pushing the flames back for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opening, it leaped out of the sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, its entire body was charred black, and the corpse energy on its body had obviously thinned out considerably.

"It's afraid of fire!"

The prayer beads in Master Ikkyu's hand once again condensed golden light: "Continue to burn it to death!"

Enraged, Mao Jiang suddenly opened his mouth and spat out several black arrows of corpse energy, which shot towards the three of them simultaneously.

"Golden Light Mantra!" Lin Bei shouted, and a golden light enveloped his body.

The arrows of corpse energy struck the golden light shield with loud thuds.

Four Eyes and Ikkyu also dodged!

Seeing this, Lin Bei rushed forward again, pulled out the last two Earth Fire Talismans from the space stone, and unleashed them at the same time.

"Based on earthly fire! Burn away evil! Incinerate!"

A wall of crimson fire instantly rose from the ground, surrounding it in the very center.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Si Mu once again gathered his strength: "Tianxuan Revolves the Dipper! Sword Points at the Heart of Evil!"

"The Second Form of the Seven Divine Swords of the Righteous One: Subduing Demons!"

Starlight condensed once more on the bronze greatsword, its blade even thicker and sharper than the first strike.

Four eyes, one sword thrust out: "Slash!"

The starlight sword pierced through the sea of ​​fire, precisely striking the old wound on Mao Jiang's chest.

The sword pierced the wound more than half a foot deep, and Mao Jiang let out a shrill scream as a cloud of black energy exploded from his chest.

"It's injured!" Four eyes were overjoyed.

"Uncle-Master, well done!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Bei once again used the Wooden Stake Technique: "Green wood has a spirit, heed my command! Jia and Yi of the East, the essence of Jianmu."

"Rooted in the earth, locking away the soul and imprisoning the form. Vines transform into armor, stakes form a forest! By imperial decree!"

More than a dozen wooden stakes, each as thick as a bowl, burst from the ground at Mao Jiang's feet and from all directions, completely sealing off Mao Jiang's space to move.
